The Neutralizer had space for one pilot, and it was outfitted with two medium laser cannons and a proton torpedo launcher that could fire its complement of 10 proton torpedoes. The bomber was also able to hold a week's worth of consumables and supported up to 110 kilograms of cargo.[1]

A multi-purpose bomber, the Neutralizer filled a diverse range of roles. Its primary purpose was strafing enemy ground emplacements and breaking open defensible positions. The Neutralizer-class bomber was also used to perform air strikes against positions suspected of hosting enemy sympathizers.[1]

During the conflict between the Sith-backed Fel Empire and the Galactic Alliance beginning in 127 ABY—known as the Sith–Imperial War—the Neutralizer-class bomber was developed by Sienar Fleet Systems' engineers by modifying the Predator-class starfighter. Compared to the Predator fighter, few Neutralizers were assembled, although the bomber saw use in the attack on the planetOssus at the end of the war.[1]

As its main purpose was assaulting defensible positions and strafing ground emplacements, the Neutralizer saw limited use after the Sith–Imperial War. However, when the forces loyal to Emperor-in-exileRoan Fel, who had been overthrown by Darth Krayt, began to rise up against the Sith regime, Krayt's Empire started sending Neutralizer-class bombers to perform air strikes against positions suspected of harboring sympathizers to the deposed Emperor Fel.[1]
